In the past with 3.3 and 3.4 gcc could be build as a 64 bit binary on ppc64.
gentoo-ppc64 as a distro is a full 64 bit environment.
I've been doing some early explorations on gcc 4.x for our next release of
gentoo-ppc64 and found that gcc no longer is able to bootstrap or even build in
a pure 64 bit environment.
As a request could we get this functionality back?
As an added bonus I would appreciate if we could bootstrap a bi-arch (aka
multilib) 32/64 compiler from a pure 64 bit environment as well. This is also
not possible today.
